Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    The Department of Commerce will submit to the Office of Management 
and Budget (OMB) for clearance the following proposal for collection of 
information under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 
U.S.C. Chapter 35).
    Agency: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
    Title: Marine Recreational Fishing Expenditure Survey (MRFES).
    OMB Control Number: 0648-0693.
    Form Number(s): None.
    Type of Request: Regular (revision and extension of a currently 
approved information collection).
    Number of Respondents: 83,426.
    Average Hours per Response: Durable goods survey, 15 minutes; trip 
expenditure surveys, 5 to 8 minutes.
    Burden Hours: 3,142.
    Needs and Uses: This request is for revision and extension of an 
existing data collection.
    The objective of the survey is to collect information on both trip 
expenditures and annual durable good expenditures made by marine 
recreational anglers. The survey will be conducted in two parts. One 
part will ask anglers about the expenses incurred on their most recent 
marine recreational fishing trip. The other part of the survey will ask 
anglers about their purchases of durable goods such as fishing gear, 
boats, vehicles, and second homes. As specified in the Magnuson-
Stevenson Fishery Conservation and Management Act of 1996 (and 
reauthorized in 2007), NMFS is required to enumerate the economic 
impacts of the policies it implements on fishing participants and 
coastal communities. The expenditure data collected in this survey will 
be used to estimate the economic contributions and impacts of marine 
recreational fishing to each coastal state and nationwide. Slight 
revisions will be made to the existing trip expenditure questions to 
clarify certain types of expenditures, and two questions on the trip 
expenditure instrument will be dropped.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households.
    Frequency: Every three years.
    Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
    This information collection request may be viewed at reginfo.gov. 
Follow the instructions to view Department of Commerce collections 
currently under review by OMB.
    Written comments and recommendations for the proposed information 
collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of this notice 
to [email protected] or fax to (202) 395-5806.
